Here's a story that probably deserves way more attention than it received. Outside of Michigan and North Carolina, I doubt this story got any play at all.Congrats to J-Rich for trying to make a difference in the lives of our youth without putting a basketball or a microphone in their hands.

Changing their lives for the better has netted 17 Saginaw County 2008 high school graduates a share of $75,000 from a National Basketball Association star.
Working with the Saginaw Community Foundation and the Saginaw Intermediate School District, Saginaw native Jason Richardson is funding $500 scholarships for Saginaw County Turnaround students.
Richardson, a 1999 graduate of Arthur Hill High School, played college basketball at Michigan State University.
